Submissions

Submissions

Asharq Al-Awsat welcomes contributions for its Op-Ed section, as well as feature-length articles for any of the sections of our website, especially on topics about or affecting the Middle East and North Africa.

We do not consider submissions that have previously been published in any language, whether in print or online.

Op-Ed pieces should be around 700–800 words on a topical subject: preferably a subject that has been in the news recently. Some of our best op-eds state a single opinion clearly and forcefully, but are also brief—fewer than 500 words. We will, however, consider longer op-eds provided they clearly express a well-formed and well-argued opinion.

Features should be a maximum of 3,000 words. Every feature must include a dateline indicating where and when you researched the article.

Please send draft articles, and not proposals or outlines. All articles should be either pasted into the body of your e-mail or attached in .doc or .docx format. Please also include a brief (fewer than 150 words) CV or biography.

We review all submissions received; however, we are unable to respond to each of them. If you have not been contacted by an editor within 3 business days, we regret that we will not be able to publish your piece.
